Non-direct Caribbean Routings?

On my last flight, to/from Barbados, i noticed that our plane was going to/from Antigua after BGI.

Is there a direct flight to ANU? Is that another flight number, or are these flights layed on when there arent enough ANU and BGI pax to fill two aircraft?

Do VS do this with any other routes? e.g: UVF?

Just curious, as i find it difficult doing stop-off's unless essential (cant bear sitting on a plane that's not moving) and wondered what the situation will be when i want to go to UVF or ANU, will i be able to get a direct flight?

And, do they make the stop-off clear on the booking form through V Hols and VS?

:)

As a side note: i know that technically, 'direct' does include stop-oofs, just not change of aircraft (or something) but you know what i mean!!

VS do offer direct (no stops) to ANU and UVF twice a week out of LGW.

The flights you are reffering to via BGI are simply to add capacity to the route....but as you rightly said where a dedicated flight (744- 400pax) may not be required!

Hope this helps
